Animal language are those forms of animal communication that show similarities to human language. Animal communication may be considered complex enough to be called a form of language if: the inventory of signs is large, the signs are relatively arbitrary, and the animals produce them with a degree of volition (as opposed to conditioned instincts). Animal communication can also be evidenced through the use of lexigrams (as used by chimpanzees and bonobos) in addition to signs.

Prairie dog language: Dr. Con Slobodchikoff studied prairie dog communication and discovered: different alarm calls for different species of predators;
different escape behaviors for different species of predators;
transmission of semantic information, in that playbacks of alarm calls in the absence of predators lead to escape behaviors that are appropriate to the type of predator which elicited the alarm calls;
alarm calls containing descriptive information about the general size, color, and speed of travel of the predator.

HA. higher level of thinking. listen animals are much more advanced and in tune with nature and each other than us. using our vocal chords as a form of communication would be primitive compared to the way animals communicate with each other. they only use thier vocals as a warning either to a threat or of one. calling attention when the mind is too cluttered to do it telepathically. they would view words as an ugly brutalization of a thought. you think in much higher levels than you can communicate with

But we still think in much more complex terms and about much more complex things. We have CONVERSATIONS. Animals communicate in much more primitive ways because we have evolved far past such primitive communication and thought processes.

Nice try though. We're ten times more advanced than any creature on earth and are continuing to split the gap further and further.

i have to say, physically, and mentally we have evolved past the other species on this planet, but spiritually, as in our connection with the earth and all of the creatures that exist on it, we are lacking

Is it because we are lacking or is it because we've evolved past the need for such things? We can control weather in some cases. If we don't like this planet we can go to a new one.

We've moved past the need to be one with the planet in the way that animals need to be. We did our time as equal to animals and we're beyond that point. We are, and forever will be, the dominant species in all shapes and/or forms on this planet.

you are right. but the thing is where has that gotten us? over population to the point where the planet may not be able to sustain us anymore, weve ****** the earth up hard, and whether we want a new planetor not, were still connected to our earth. this is our planet and were here on this one for a certain reason. the state that we are in right now shows how out of harmony we are with our planet

You can sit there and preach harmony with the planet and green peace and all that, which is fine, those would be very good things to do to get some more life out of our Earth. In reality though the Earth can hold somewhere around 25 billion people before it hits max capacity. We're not even close yet. We've still got a few hundred years AT LEAST here. A couple thousand if we play our cards right.

That's if we DON'T expand. We will have to and in a few hundred years it will be more than easy to just hope on a spaceship and go to Mars or Saturn's moon Io our own moon. Then our growth potential becomes truly MASSIVE. That is the goal. Every species is here for a reason and all of which involve expanding. Growing. THRIVING.

Think about it. The Earth has a limit, so no matter how we treat it we will hit that limit at some point. You can live in a harmony with it and live green and everything all you want but the fact of the matter is it cannot hold us here forever. It's simply impossible. It's a good thing, as I said earlier, that we don't need it anymore to survive.

Animals may have that part down, but we did as well for a long, long time and now we've moved past it which is why animals are nothing compared to us. Like I said, we might as well be gods to each and every one of the animals on this planet.

i mean trust me i agree with you. we are far superior than all of the rest of the animals on this planet. i just think theres a reason for that. and if theres a reason for our bodys to be so physically superior. the pineal gland in our brains the sacred geometry of the earth. i think its all part of some huge tapestry that were just a part of

There comes a point where organisms must expand. Earth will forever be our home, but colonies will most likely be on stellar bodies such as the moon and Mars because inevitably we will outgrow our surroundings. The goal of a species is to thrive correct? Well we're over-thriving and that's why Earth is in the shape it is. We're outgrowing our surroundings.

That's why I said we're not animals anymore (Yes I know technically we still are) that are simply dependent on what they have and that alone. We can create everything we depend on artificially thus the whole Solar System will eventually become what Earth is to us right now. Expansion is inevitable. Understand?
